Nestled
in a small "bowl" or gorge between the suburbs of Norwood and Newstead
is the Punch Bowl reserve. The park is popular for family picnics.
The park has a spectacular rhododendron plantation on the northern slope, a
small gorge to the south as well as BBQ facilities and a children's
playground. The playground has a rubberized pavement. A road winds
through the reserve.
